New Education Materials from NCCN Empower Patients with Rare Lymphoma

New NCCN Guidelines for Patients® and NCCN Quick Guide™ outline disease basics, testing, and treatment information about Mycosis Fungoides so patients can make well-informed decisions about their cancer care.

“As part of a relatively small patient population, people diagnosed with Mycosis Fungoides have limited credible resources from which to learn about their disease,” said Marcie R. Reeder, MPH, Executive Director, NCCN Foundation. “NCCN Foundation is proud to offer these patients and their caregivers educational resources tailored specifically to their needs in order to empower them to make informed decisions about their health care.”

NCCN Guidelines for Patients, patient-friendly translations of the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®), are easy-to-understand resources based on the same clinical practice guidelines used by health care professionals around the world to determine the best way to treat a patient with cancer. Each resource features unbiased expert guidance from the nation’s leading cancer centers designed to help people living with cancer talk with their physicians about the best treatment options for their disease. These resources are available free-of-charge at NCCN.org/patientguidelines. Print versions are available to order on Amazon.com.

NCCN Guidelines for Patients and NCCN Quick Guide™ sheets—one-page summaries of key points in the patient guidelines—are written in plain language and include patient-friendly elements, such as questions to ask your doctor, a glossary of terms, and medical illustrations of anatomy, tests, and treatments. NCCN Guidelines for Patients and NCCN Quick Guide™ sheets DO NOT replace the expertise and clinical judgment of the clinician.

Through philanthropy, the NCCN Foundation® empowers people through knowledge and advances the mission of NCCN to improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of cancer care, so that patients can live better lives. Visit NCCNFoundation.org.
